Every day, immigrants from around the world seek a better life in the United States. After some time, many wish to become legal citizens of their newfound home. With U.S. citizenship comes extra perks that permanent residents do not enjoy, including the right to vote and visa-free travel to certain countries.

If you are seeking citizenship, you will want a capable and knowledgeable attorney on your side. New Orleans attorney Dayna Wheatley has 15 years of experience providing personalized solutions for clients seeking U. S. citizenship.

Wait Times for Citizenship
People may apply for U.S. citizenship after three years of permanent residence if they obtained their permanent residence on the basis of marriage, are still married, and are still living with their spouses.
Certain military personnel may expedite their citizenship applications without meeting a residency requirement.
In all other cases, people may apply for U.S. citizenship after five years.
Other Requirements
Residence and good moral character requirements must be met in order to successfully obtain citizenship.
You should consult with a New Orleans citizenship attorney before filing for citizenship if you are a lawful permanent resident who has:
- Voted
- Claimed citizenship
- Had tax problems
- Experienced child support problems
- Been arrested for any crime
Most people will also need to pass an English test and a civics test in order to naturalize for U.S. citizenship.
